#‘nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole and everything is stunted and lost’

[stainlesssteellocust]

So since the Custodes have canonical access to modern human cultural material it is in fact totally plausible for Bayezara to be playing whatever cheesy music is appropriate for riding a motorcycle down from space

Shield-Captain Valerian: So according to heretical M2 theologian Inmanuel Kant-

Shield-Captain Bayezara: I’M GONNA HIT HIGH ORBIT LIKE A BATTERING RAM ON A GOLDEN-BLACK ANTIGRAV BIKE

Valerian: In terms of the Categorical Imperative-

Baezara: CAUSE THE METAL IS HOT, AND THE ENGINE IS HUNGRY, AND YOU’RE ALL ABOUT TO SEE THE LIGHT

okay but have you considered that nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole and everything is stunted and lost, and nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls and nothing's ever worth the cost

JIM STEINMAN’S BAT OUT OF HELL: THE MUSICAL SENTENCE STARTERS (PART 2)

part 1

feel free to change pronouns/etc!

GOOD GIRLS GO TO HEAVEN (BAD GIRLS GO EVERYWHERE)

‘ why are you crying? ’ ‘  when you’ve been leading such a sheltered life, you never lift your head. ’ ‘ no one said it had to be real. ’ ‘ castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air. ’ ‘ good girls go to heaven, but bad girls go everywhere. ’ ‘ i’ve been nothing but an angel every day of my life, and now i wonder what it’s like to be damned. ’

TWO OUT OF THREE AIN’T BAD

‘ we can talk all night , but that ain’t getting us nowhere. ’ ‘ i told you everything i possibly can. there’s nothing left inside of here. ’ ‘ i tried to show you just how much i care. ’ ‘ you’ve been cold to me so long i’m crying icicles instead of tears. ’  ‘ i want you. i need you. but there ain’t no way i’m ever gonna love you. now, don’t be sad: two outta three ain’t bad. ’ ‘ i can’t tell you that i’m something i’m not. ’ ‘ i’ll never be able to give you something i just haven’t got. ’ ‘ there’s only one boy/girl i will ever love, and that was so many years ago. ’ ‘ i’ll never get him/her out of my heart. ’ ‘ he/she never loved me back. ’

PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT

‘ it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night. ’ ‘ i can see paradise by the dashboard light. ’ ‘ we were doubly blessed, cause we were seventeen and we were barely dressed . ’ ‘ don’t you hear my heart? ’ ‘ you got to do what you can, and let mother nature do the rest. ’ ‘ we’re gonna go all the way tonight. ’ ‘  do you love me? will you love me forever? do you need me? will you never leave me? ’ ‘ will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? ’ ‘ will you take me away? ’ ‘ will you make me your wife? ’ ‘ let me sleep on it. ’ ‘ i couldn’t take it any longer. ’ ‘ i swore i’d love you till the end of time. ’ ‘ if i got to spend another minute with you, i don’t think i can really survive. ’ ‘ i’ll never break my promise or forget my vow. ’ ‘ we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife. ’

MAKING LOVE OUT OF NOTHING AT ALL

‘ i know just how to whisper, and i know just how to cry. ’ ‘ i know just where to find the answers. ’ ‘ i know just how to lie. ’ ‘ i know just how to fake it, and i know just how to scheme. ’ ‘ i know just when to face the truth, and i know just when to dream. ’ ‘ i know just where to touch you. ’ ‘ i know just when to pull you closer, and i know just when to let you loose. ’ ‘ the night is fading. ’ ‘ i know time’s gonna fly. ’ ‘ i’m never ognna tell you everything i gotta tell you, but i know i gotta give it a try. ’ ‘ i don’t know how to leave you. ’ ‘ i’ll never let you fall. ’ ‘ i don’t know how you do it: making love out of nothing at all. ’ ‘ every time i see you, all the rays of the sun are shining through the waves in your hair. ’ ‘ every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes like a spotlight . ’ ‘ the beating of my heart is a drum, and it’s lost. and it’s looking for a rhythm like you. ’

BAT OUT OF HELL

‘ the sirens are screaming and the fires are howling way down in the valley tonight. ’ ‘ there’s evil in the air. ’ ‘ there’s a killer on the bloodshot streets. ’ ‘ down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising, i swear i saw a young boy down in the gutter. he was starting to foam in the heat. ’ ‘ i have to go back! i don’t think i can do this. ’ ‘ baby, you’re the only thing in this whole world that’s pure and good and right. ’ ‘ wherever you are, and wherever you go, there’s always going to be some light. ’ ‘ i gotta get out. ’ ‘ i gotta break it out now, before the final crack of dawn. ’ ‘ we gotta make the most of our one night together.  when it’s over, you know we’ll both be so alone. ’ ‘ like a bat out of hell, i’ll be gone when the morning comes. ’ ‘ when the day is done, and sun’s gone down, and the moonlight’s shining through, then like a sinner before the gates of heaven i’ll come crawling on back to you. ’ ‘ like a sinner before the gates of heaven, i come crawling on back to you. ’ ‘ nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole, and everything is stunted and lost. ’ ‘ nothing’s ever worth the cost. ’ ‘ i’m damned if i never get out, and maybe i’m damned if i do. ’ ‘ with every other beat i’ve got left in my heart, you know, i’d rather be damned with you. ’ ‘ if i’ve gotta be damned, you know i want to be damned dancing through the night with you. ’ ‘ i can’t leave things like this. i just can’t. ’ ‘ i don’t think i’m ready for this. ’ ‘ ____’ll never stop until he finds you. ’ ‘ he’ll kill you. ’

Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes When the night is over, like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone, gone, gone Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes But when the day is done And the sun goes down And the moonlight's shining through Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven I'll come crawling on back to you I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram On a silver-black phantom bike When the metal is hot, and the engine is hungry And we're all about to see the light Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole, And everything is stunted and lost And nothing really rocks, and nothing really rolls, And nothing's ever worth the cost
